MoveOn.org and several other
liberal 527 voter registration groups funded by George Soros,
Peter B. Lewis, the CEO of Progressives Insurance, and
Teresa Heinz-Kerry's Tides Foundations, such as America Coming
Together (ACT). New Voters' Project, America Votes, and Students
for a Democratic Society. Soros and MoveOn.org are
also financing several more radical groups such as Act-Up and Barrio
Warriors who have gotten deeply involved in voter registration drives
in what Democrats construe as the key battleground States (where close
Senate races are every bit as important as the race for the White House).
Most of the Democratic voter registration drives appear to be racked
with fraud as liberal activists attempt to register—as lawful voters—children
as young as 13 and 14 years of age, and both legal and illegal alien
residents on the grounds that because the decisions of the White House
affect their lifestyle, everyone in America (who will vote for their
candidate) should have a voice in selecting the occupant of the Oval
Office. Because as the Democrats struggle to register millions of ineligible
voters, the fight to disenfranchise the military vote—which is expected
to go overwhelmingly for Bush (approximately 70% of the military
vote this time is anticipated to be Republican)—has already begun in
earnest as Democratic lawyers file lawsuits to disenfranchise the military
by delaying the mailings of oversees ballots (which will assure that
those ballots will not arrive back in the United States in time to be
counted), and to invalidate any ballot that arrives in an envelop without
a valid USPS postmark. In the same token, Democrats have engaged in
a mass marketing effort to make sure that all registered Democrat American
citizens living abroad receive absentee ballots—and instructions how
to make sure their votes are counted as their laywers launch lawsuits
designed to disenfranchise those who are shedding their blood on foreign
soil on legal technicalities that those in harm's way have no control
over.

In New Mexico, Albuquerque police
officer Glen Stout became concerned when his 13-year old son
received a voter registration card—as did one of his son's 15-year old
friends. What that means is that Stout's son and the 15-year
old neighbor are legally entitled to vote in the State of New Mexico
without the fear of being challenged since a law pushed through that
State's Democratically-controlled legislature and signed into law by
Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson earlier this year prevents precinct
workers at any of New Mexico's polls from asking for any form of identification
from any voter, or asking their age—even if fraud is obvious.

The fraud the Republicans fear most
is that from illegal aliens whose identities and citizenship status
cannot be checked under the Democratic "voters' rights" law. Most of
the illegals were registered through third party registration groups.
Phyllis Lamb, of the New Mexico Bureau of Elections said that people
who registered through third parties are construed to be legally registered
since those who register in person no longer have to show identification
to prove [a] they are a resident of the State, [b] that they are not
registered to vote elsewhere by verifying a permanent address within
the State of New Mexico—and also within that voting precinct, and [c]
that they are an American citizen over the age of 18, and that they
have a constitutional right to vote in a national election for the President
of the United States.

Barrio Warriors, Act-Up and
MoveOn.org have actively engaged in re-registered people who
are already registered (suggesting that they are attempting to create
two voters where only one exists), and in registering non-citizens—
mostly illegal aliens from Mexico in States like New Mexico where poll
workers cannot question a voter's eligibility. It is becoming clear
as these third party voter registrations are examined in those States
that have a legal right to question them that as many as 50% of the
approximately 10 million new "voters" who have been registered across
the United States are either ex-convicts (in States that deny them the
right to vote), non-citizens that do not possess a constitutional right
to vote, minors under the age of 18 who signed voter registration cards
at one of the George Soros-Bruce Springsteen concerts (or in
covert registration drives in several high schools around the nation),
or they are people who have been registered and re-registered two or
more times, opening the door for caravans of migrant voters that move
from precinct to precinct voting names that have been assigned to them.
In one instance, the Election Board in one State discovered that several
people had signed as many as 35 voter registration cards each. Because
the registrations were submitted by liberal voter registration 527s,
the fraud was dismissed as the actions of a few overzealous workers
who, because they were being paid for each signed voter registration,
their friends simply wanted to help them earn some extra money.

ACT, working with the Service
Employees International Union {SEIU), the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) (which,
legally, cannot participate in political campaigning) and MoveOn.org
formed a new banner group, America Votes, to register
"first time voters" in what they view as the critical swing States—Colorado,
Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Wisconsin. Colorado Gov. Bill Owens accused
America Votes of trying to undermine the election process
with the tactics they are using, and asked the Colorado attorney general
to investigation hundreds of questionable voter registration applications
in that State. "I am very concerned,"Owens said, "that
such groups have [deliberately] registered people whoa re not qualified
to vote."Susan Casey, John Kerry's state director
did what Democrats caught with their hand in the cookie jar always do—she
lamely responded that the governor is simply trying to scare people
away from the polls on election day. She said these tactics, on the
part of the Republicans, were the result of polls that showed that Kerry
was in a dead heat with Bush. She also noted that high voter
turnout generally favors the Democrats.

According to a 66-page Democratic
National Committee strategy manual made public by Internet guru Matt
Drudge on Thursday, the DNC is already planning to challenge
the election results—suggesting the Democrats have a pretty good idea
that regardless how many illegal votes they are able to sneak into the
voting booths across the country, they still anticipate losing the election.
"If no signs of [voter] intimidation [by Republicans] have emerged
yet, launch a preemptive strike [by arguing that voters are being intimidated]."
The manual suggests that the Kerry Campaign should rely on DNC
party officials, minority rights organizations, and civil rights leaders—i.e.,
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton—to accuse the GOP of wrongdoing.
(That is pretty much what Al Gore did in 2000. So it appears the Democrats
have simply dusted off the 2000 playbook, added a few new twists, and
are planning to use a modified version of the Gore tactics to
try to steal the White House in 2004 by using black activists like Jackson
and Sharpton to denounce the Republicans while allowing the Kerry
Campaign to keep up the appearance of being above the fray while
the Bush people have to defend themselves, making them look partisan—which,
again, is precisely what Al Gore did in 2000.)

Part of that strategy is needed because
John Kerry has not connected with the Black voters in America
who are angry because the Kerry camp has grouped all minorities
together—Blacks, Hispanics and homosexuals in an effort to use African-American
suffrage to legitimize homosexual marriage. The African-American community
is deeply offended by this tactic, and as a result, it appears that
many middle-class minorities will either sit out the election, vote
for Bush, or cast a protest vote for Ralph Nader. Kerry,
like Gore before him, will use past voting record of African-Americans
in those precincts to claim vote fraud robbed Kerry of those votes,
and demand either a recount or a revote.

Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael
Williams, a Black Republican (who was one of the speakers at the
Republican National Convention), denounced the DNC strategy,
saying that "...Democratic operatives have been suggesting that Republicans
would engage in voter intimidation. The allegation," he said, "is not
new, but very untrue. As I look at this 66-page guide, it says, 'If
no signs of intimidation occur, launch a preemptive strike.' What that
means is if there is no evidence—and I don't expect there will be—just
make it up and talk about it anyway. The problem is that John Kerry
has not connected with the African-American voters, and he's trying
to gin up his base."

Democratic spokesman Jano Cabrera
spun it as best he could. "We make no apologies for fighting these
tactics by exposing the dirty tricks when they happen and helping educate
local officials and activists about past Republican tactics so they
can prevent them from occurring this year."

The difference this year, of course,
will be 100
UN monitors from 25 European nations—none of whom are wildly excited
about America—all of who are charged with the responsibility of making
sure that the Election of 2004 is "fair and transparent" through the
eyes of those who scream the loudest—the minorities whom everyone assumes
will be disenfranchised as the Democrats covertly attempt to disenfranchise
middle class America.

Adding to the dilemma, Democrats
anticipate hundreds, if not thousands, of complaints of vote tampering,
poll access, and other voting rights violations will be filed with the
Justice Department as the Kerry Campaign's 25,000 or more lawyers
demand recounts or the disqualification of what will largely be Republican
votes on Nov. 2. Democrats are already filing lawsuits "in anticipation"
of problems, claiming the Bush Justice Department is wholly unprepared
because it was so wrapped up in Bush's war on terrorism that it had
no interest in developing a comprehensive plan to track and document
complaints in order to swiftly deal with allegations of GOP wrongdoing.
